Hi, I am new to the forum, but have had kitties for quite awhile. My oldest cat Precious, has never been interested in climbing our christmas tree, but does like to lay under it. My parents cat, Smokey, always looked like he wanted to get to the tree. We were not sure if he would climb it or not, but did not want to take the chance as we always had many delicate glass ornaments on the tree. So, one day I suggested using lavender linen water spray on the tree. We tried it, and sure enough, it worked
. Every evening we would spray the tree and when he would get near it, he would sniff the tree and run away! I had thought to use the lavender, because I love real lavender, to help me sleep at night or relax in the evenings. I have a couple of lavender filled dream pillows and both of my cats would jump up on my lap or in bed with me, and when they would get close to the dream pillows and smell it, they would get a disgusted look on their face and would end up walking away! I have also brought in fresh lavender from the garden and let them sniff it, which usually they shake their head, then walk away. So you could try that and see if it works and it gives a nice scent to the house at the same time!
I just moved into my own home on my own this year and just adopted another kitty! (she's 5 1/2 months old as of today) So I am hoping this will also work with her, this upcoming holiday as she is quite a handfull! But I love her bunches!!!
